The European University Alliance for Global Health (EUGLOH) connects the University of Hamburg with eight other European universities and promotes international exchange among students, researchers, lecturers and staff. This EU-funded project facilitates digital and in-person exchange between partner universities in eight countries – Germany, France, Spain, Portugal, Norway, Sweden, Serbia and Hungary – and reimburses travel and accommodation costs. Courses and other events are generally held in English.

Current opportunities offered by the Alliance are regularly posted on the  EUGLOH website under 'Courses & Trainings' and the EUGLOH team in the International Office publishes news articles on the UHH EUGLOH-Website and sends out a monthly newsletter.

The ‘Global Competence for Academic Administration’ (GloCAA) certificate is aimed at technical, administrative and library staff at the University of Hamburg who wish to develop their international skills. The programme will launch in 2025 with a pilot phase in the study administration departments of the MIN and WiSo faculties and is set to be expanded to other areas from autumn 2026. It comprises three pillars: the development of language skills, the enhancement of key intercultural and anti-discrimination competencies, and international exchange with partner universities to jointly address current challenges in higher education administration. Further information can be found here.

You can find a comprehensive overview of international opportunities on the website of Department 5.
